The flora of Kutch has many species in common with Sind and Gujrat. The district has large sandy and saline marshy tracts which are colonised by xerophytic and holophytic species. A study of the recent collections from this area in Poona herbarium revealed that the following species have not been reported from the area so far and are, therefore, new plant records for the area.

Abstract


The flora of Kutch has many species in common with Sind and Gujrat. The district has large sandy and saline marshy tracts which are colonised by xerophytic and holophytic species. A study of the recent collections from this area in Poona herbarium revealed that the following species have not been reported from the area so far and are, therefore, new plant records for the area.
